Remuneration of the President and CEO and other executives and total rewarding principles

The Board of Directors determines the salaries and compensation which is paid to the President and CEO and his immediate subordinates. The Compensation Committee is responsible for preparing the proposals for CEO and his immediate subordinates’ salaries and the executive’s incentive system. No separate compensation is paid to the members of the Executive Board for their participation in any management bodies. The Amer Sports total rewarding principles are closely linked to financial and personal performance. The aim of total rewarding is to drive business success through total reward programs that attract, motivate, reward and retain good and high performers. Emphasis is also placed on both team and individual accountability. The principles of total rewarding apply to all Amer Sports employees. The individual performance is evaluated during an annual performance discussion and is mutually agreed between the employee and the direct manager. In case of the President and CEO, the performance is evaluated by the Board of Directors. At Amer Sports the components of total rewarding are base pay, benefits, annual incentives and long-term incentives. Base pay forms the basic element of compensation and takes into account particularly the role content and demand of the role. Benefits are part of Amer Sports total rewarding and the principles observed follow local practices. Such local practices consist of taxable and non-taxable benefits.

The purpose of Amer Sports annual incentive programs is to drive the company’s growth and profitability and to support the realization of the company’s business strategy. Annual incentives reward employees for achieving business success through company’s defined financial targets as well as personal accomplishment achieved by reaching individual targets. The weighting of the financial targets of the overall target setting is higher in the executive roles. Participation in an annual incentive program is role-dependent and it covers the most number of employees in any of the incentive programs.

Long-term incentives at Amer Sports have a strategic focus at Group level and concentrate on share-price development. Long-term incentive programs are governed by the Board of Directors. A limited number of executives and key players participate in long-term incentive programs, with all participants being nominated by the President and CEO, reviewed and proposed to the Board of Directors’ by Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.
